For THE HERALD.

Business men in Martinsburg often
speak of our young men leaving the
county, when they grow up to be
men; in fact, some of their own
sons are compelled to seek employ
ment elsewhere. How can this be
averted? In more than one way.
Patronize manufactures already es-
tablished, and build new ones, so that
the boys who are growing up can find
employment. There are in Martins
burg four cigar manufacturers
Messrs. Cook, Dowlan, DeGrange and
Evans. These gentlemen in their
small way give employment to men,
and are teaching the boys growing up,
trades, that will be useful to them in
after years. If the merchants of this
town and county, would second their
efforts they would give employment
to many a boy now growing up in
idleness, as well as bring into this
county men with their families. The
little town of McSherrytown, Pa,
gives employment to more than FIVE
hundred hands in the manufacture of
cigars alone. Why cannot Martins
burg with population of from ten
to fifteen times the population, do
likewise. Is it the fault of the manu-
facturers or is it that our merchants
will not lend their aid in helping give
employment to men who will spend
in their midst what money they make.
Surely good cigars, as good as are
made elsewhere, ought to be found in
their factories. In fact, the writer of
this article does not hesitate to say
that the cigars made by either of the
firms above mentioned are equal TO
any, and superior to many that are
sold here, and purchased abroad.
Let our merchants consider this
question and see if it is not to their
interest to help build up that which
will give employment to those now
idle. If this branch of business is
supported it will not
be long before a large box factory will
be started, and that means employ
ment for more hands, especially for
young girls who are expert at paper
ing and labelling boxes. There is
many a girl who could make from
two to five dollars a week instead of
sitting at sewing machine wearing
her life away for one dollar to one
fifty. Are these thoughts worthy of
If SO, see what you
can do to bring about results that we
are mutually interested in.

Book OF THE DoG.-We have received
from the Associated Fanciers, 237 South
Eighth Street, Philadelphia, copy Of
their Dog Buyers Guide. It contains a

ENJOY LIFE.

What truly beautiful world we live
in Nature gives us grandeur of noun
tains, glens and oceans, and thousands
of means Of enjoyment. We can desire
no better when in perfect health but
how often do the majority of people feel
like giving it up disheartened, discour-
aged and worn out with disease, when
there is no occasion for this feeling, as
every sufferer can easily obtain satisfac-
tory proof, that Green august F7olcer,
will make them free from disease, as
when born. Dyspepsia and LIVER Com
plant are the direct canses of seventy
five per cent. of such maladies as Bilious
ness. Indigestion, Sick Headache, Cos
tiveness. Nervous Prostitution. Dizziness
of the Head, Palpitation of the Heart,
and other distressing symptoms. Three
doses of august F7o1eer will prove its
wonderful effect. Sample bottles, 10
cents. Try it.

This / take to be the best feature of
this Church's history. There never
has been found a church which is
liberal in her missionary offerings
that has not been prosperous. Or to
put it another way, I do not think
you will find one prosperous church
in the land which is not active and
liberal in missionary enterprises. A
missionary spirit is the life of the
church. 1t shows faith in Gods
promises, obedience to His commands
and develops spirituality. The years
